Analysis of orientifold action complexities
Insights into geometry essential for superpotential contributions
Abstract
We discuss the first step in the moduli stabilization program a la KKLT for a general class of resolved toroidal type IIB orientifolds. In particular, we discuss their geometry, the topology of the divisors relevant for the D3-brane instantons which can contribute to the superpotential, and some non--trivial aspects of the orientifold action.
